PUB NAMES CALLED FOR

In fact, the perfect name for a pub is “The Hostile Stranger”.

  13. “Drink and Squeal” sounds like a pub near an intelligence organisation’s headquarters.

    Langley, VA perhaps?

  14. #12, were the stools just lying around on the bar room floor or did they have to collect some from the toilets?!!

  21. Re: #11.

    There really IS a pub in Perth called “The Office”. I go there quite often. It’s right in the centre of the city, and the owners obviously thought it would be a mighty gag to have patrons use the “Honey, I was putting some extra time in at The Office” line.

    Only problem is, my friends and I don’t call our workplaces “the office”. We’re more likely to say “that cornucopia of arse-lickers”.

    So when we go out for a drink, the conversation runs thus:

    “Fancy a beer after work?”

    “Sure. Meet you at The Cornucopia of Arse-Lickers at 5.30?”

    “You got it.”

  23. My nightmare name for a yuppie pub in a touristy brew-pub-and-fudge town: The Leek and Crowne.

  24. Whilst it’s not strictly a pub, “Church” is a brilliant name.  Apparently, they named it as such so antipodean backpackers could tell their parents that they were to “Church” every Sunday whilst in London.

  25. “The Thalidomide Arms”

    You bastard! My sister was a thalidomide baby!

  26. Just kidding :P

  27. There really IS a pub in Perth called “The Office”.

    Many years ago, I saw a pub in North Queensland called Jim’s Gym. “honey, I’m just off to the gym” works well.

  28. There was a pub  in my district in the 19th century that revelled in the name Help Me Through The World.
    My son’s local in Melbourne is The Quiet Man. I don’t think the said man was in attendance when I rang there on Mundine fight night.

    Liquor in the front. Poker in the rear.

  31. “The Swarthy Bachelor”.
    “The Surly Bogan”.
    “The Ratboy and Slapper”.

  32. There used to be a great little bar/roadhouse on HWY 12 just west of Sonoma, CA called “He’s not Here!”—I wonder if it’s still there.

    And in Santa Cruz, “The Bearded Clam” did a brisk business in the ‘70s.

    I seem to recall frequenting a pub named “Nelson’s Arm” in Great Yarmouth when I was in East Anglia, lo, these many years ago.

  33. The Queens Legs (old joke I’m just waiting for the Queens Legs to open so I can have a drink).

  34. Hmmm. “I’m going to Church.” “I’m going to the Office.” “I’m going to the Gym.” Now I get it. That’s brilliant. That might explain why my bar “Your Younger, Prettier Sister’s Apartment” was never popular with the married fellas. I was totally unclear on the concept.

  35. The Elbow Joint.

  37. There was a bar up here in Lake County (north of Chicago) called The Hardware Store….  Went out of business though….

  38. There used to be a bar near where I live called the “Stumble Inn”.  Inside the front door, they put up a sign that said: “Stumble Out”.  I was told about it, never went there myself.  It looked like a pretty rough dive.

  39. I once frequented “The Green Parrot” which was not green, had never had a parrot of any color and was pretty much your rural, down-scale drive.  Chairs and tables bolted to the floor, floor tile on the walls up to a height of 6 feet, etc.  Just hose it out after closing. (assuming it ever closed. No matter how late I stayed it was still open.)

    I finally quit going there when I pulled in the lot one day and saw a pickup truck with a concrete block wedged half-way thru it’s windshield. I have my limits.

  41. Seen last week, the real name of a hotel in Maryborough, Victoria:
    The Bull and Mouth.
    Too old to be the drinking hole of rural leftoid moonbats, but suitable.
